South Africa's ZA Bikers recounts a touring journey through the Magaliesburg on two Royal Enfield 650s. Weaving in memories of first riding big bikes back in the 1970s, the trip retraces landmarks and recollections from that era.

Riding while layering in memories from the '70s is incredibly moving. A motorcycle isn't just transportation — it carries the landscape of someone's life along with it, is what I think reading an article like this. The presence of the Royal Enfield fits that nostalgia perfectly too. Even through photos, you can feel the atmosphere of South Africa's mountain roads.

Is Magaliesburg an area close to Johannesburg?

You don't see many South African touring articles in Japan, so this feels like a fresh perspective.

It says 'peaceful mountain road,' but you can't really tell the actual surface conditions from that.

Curious about the actual route distance for Magaliesburg.

That phrase about the gentle pulse of an air-cooled 650 twin captures exactly what makes the Interceptor lineup appealing.
